A Facile Visible‐Light‐Induced Route to Functionalize Polymeric Substrates by Combining Controlled Radical Grafting Polymerization and Thiol−Yne Click Chemistry with Photoredox Catalyst Ir(ppy)3. Issue 14 (26th May 2014) - Chen, Haochuan
Abstract With tris(2‐phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy)3) as a photoredox catalyst, visible‐light‐induced surface‐initiated controlled grafting polymerization and thiol‐yne click chemistry are exploited to functionalize a polymer substrate. This technology offers a robust tool to attach a high concentration of desired functional groups onto the surface of polymeric materials.
